*Visit to BBC Scotland (Glasgow) Digital Library*
The Information Services Group (Scotland) is organising a visit to BBC
Scotland Headquarters and its Digital Library on Thursday 4th December
at 14.30.
This would be an excellent opportunity to see how a large organisation
provides users with access to audio and visual material via a digital
library. The visit will start with a presentation and demonstration of
BBC Scotland?s Digital Library and will then continue with a tour of
the impressive open-plan building, opened in 2007.
BBC Scotland is located at 40 Pacific Quay, Glasgow, G51 1DA. For a

TF8&z=15. The nearest train station is the low level at the Exhibition
Centre ? follow the signs for the SECC, then cross the Clyde by either
bridge. BBC Scotland will be right in front of you. Alternatively,
Cessnock and Kinning Park metro stations are a 15 minute walk away,
and the 89/90 bus route goes right to the door, but these don?t go
through the city centre.
There is a car park at the Science Centre opposite BBC Scotland, which
costs £3.
There is no charge for the event. Booking is essential as only 20
places are available. Refreshments will be provided.
